Get A Clue
Chapter 4: The Mission
Miyu, Aya, Kanata, and Santa went to Miyu's house that was actually an apartment that took up one whole floor. Miyu opened the door and walked inside. "Make yourself at home guys. I'll get the menu book and order us some lunch." Her three friends followed her inside. Kanata was the last one in and he was amazed at the size and class of her house. A house that big in New York City would cost a lot of money, not mention all the expensive decorations and furniture.
"Wow." Kanata said as he looked at the stuff. "So this is how the other half lives." He followed the three into the living room. The living room was impressive as well. There was a flat screen TV and a stereo system. Also there were art pieces and sculptures that seemed really pricey. Miyu and Aya sat on the couch as where Kanata and Santa sat across from each other on chairs. Santa turned on his video camera and started filming.
"Um, so what's next, Miyu?" Aya asked.
"Okay, our mission is to identify any suspicious activity or clues that could tell us what happened to Mr. Warren." Miyu explained.
"All right." Aya agreed.
"Now, even though we have all this equipment, nothing could substitute for eyes, ears and intuition."
"That's right. I think we should divide and conquer. You know you sound retarded." Kanata told her.
"Whatever." Miyu said. "But that's a good idea. I propose that Aya and I go to Mr. Warren's house to search for clues while Kanata and Santa go to his house and watch Miss Penny. Did you get Mr. Warren's address?"
"Yeah, it's in Carroll Gardens." Kanata told her simple. All three of them gave him a weird look. "That's in Brooklyn."
"Brooklyn?" Aya asked. "No way. I am not schlepping out to Brooklyn."
Miyu looked at her. "Aya, a good spy does not question her assignment."
"So what? I'm not a good spy. I'll live." Aya said.
"Guess I'm going with you." Kanata told her.
"Ugh, I was afraid of that." Miyu took a breath and took the phone off the table next to her. She started dialing a number.
"What are you doing?" Kanata asked her.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm calling a car."
"Are you crazy? The big game's tonight. Traffic's gonna be bumper-to-bumper." Kanata explained. "Besides, showing up in a big piece of Richmoblie we'll stick out like two sore thumbs. I say that we should take the subway."
"Argh! You made me dial the wrong number!" She turned it off and back on again. She started dialing.
"Right. I made you dial the wrong number." He told her sarcastically.
She put the phone to her ear only to hear a busy signal. She ended it and tried a different number.
"You've never been on a subway before, have you?" He asked as he stood up.
She scoffed and stood up. "Of course I have! I take it all the time."
"Uh-huh. So let's go." He said as he looked at her. He raised his eyes brows. She looked at Aya.
"Miyu!" Aya exclaimed.
"Fine. Let's go. Right now. We'll see you guys later." Miyu said as she looked at him determined.
"All right."
"I'll text you later, Aya." Miyu told her as she and Kanata walked out of the living room.
"Miyu!" Aya called, but Miyu and Kanata had already made it to the door. Aya looked at Santa. "Let's go."
Miyu and Kanata walked down the sidewalk over to the subway entrance. They walked down the rusty metal stairs underground. They bought tickets and boarded the subway. It was crowded, really crowded. Miyu couldn't help, but stick close to Kanata side. The subway car began to move. A man bummed into her and she fell forward into Kanata's chest.
"Sorry." She told him as she pulled off of him.
"It's fine. Just stay close." He told her.
"Wow. Who would have thought that he was nice?" She thought, as she stood next to him, closer than before.
Santa took the lid off a box. Then he took the security camera that he had bought at the Corner Spy Shop out. He looked at it and then hooked it onto the railing bar next to a window. After it was tightened, he looked around. He walked down one flight metal stairs. "Aya, come up."
They were on the fire escape stairs outside of Miss Penny's apartment. Aya looked down and around, before finally coming up to the flight that Santa was on. "Okay, this is so not photo op." Aya told him.
Santa fixed the position of the camera to a perfect angle. Aya looked inside. "Okay, come on. Let's go." She told him.
"Okay, hold on. I just have to make some adjustments." He explained as he fiddled with the camera again. "Okay." He picked up the box and bag as Aya made her way back down the fire escape. He walked passed the camera, but before he left. He put a potted plant in front of it so that it wasn't too noticeable. Then, they left.
Aya and Santa went over to Santa's house. "Wow," Aya said as she looked at the video library in Santa's room, "this is some library."
"Huh? Oh, yet it's my lifetime collection." He told her as he fiddled with his computer.
One particular tape stuck out to her. She picked up and read it, "'Santa's Birth?' You even have that on tape?"
"Oh, yeah. Actually, my dad just got me started really young and I've just been recording things since." He explained as he took the tape from her.
"Impressive." She told him.
Santa put the tape aside and booted up the program for the security camera. Aya picked up a chair and put it next to him. She sat down and Santa picked up the controller. "Everything's about set up." He hit a few buttons and moved the joystick. "And…" he clicked the mouse and the window for the camera popped up on the screen, "action."
"Oh, this is so exciting."
They looked at the screen. It showed her window, but no one was inside.
"Maybe she's not home." Aya said after a few moments.
"Yeah, yeah, we… we just have to sit and wait and… yeah."
Before they knew it, Miyu and Kanata reached Brooklyn. The two of them un-boarded and climbed up the stairs. Now they were in the city of Brooklyn. "Yes, I made it. I can't wait to tell Aya." She looked around the city. It wasn't like Manhattan at all. It was more like suburbs.
The people weren't dressed flashy, they were just dressed casually. "Wow." Miyu said. "How interesting. What a riot. I mean, who knew?"
Kanata turned around to face her. He saw her. She was opening a map. He walked up to her. She looked at the map. "Okay. It's this way." She said as she pointed to her left.
"No, it's this way." He told her as he pointed to the right.
"Kanata, do you see this thing in my hand? It's called a map and according to it… It's this way."
"Right." He said like he was giving-in to her. "Well, first of all…" he turned the map around. "And second of all, it's this way. I've been there before." He explained as he walked down the sidewalk. She followed him and stuffed the map into a stray trashcan.
Santa relaxed in his chair, eating chips. Aya was filing her nails with a nail filer. Nothing had happened on the screen yet. Aya casually looked up at the screen. She set her nail filer on the desk and gently hit Santa's home. "Look. She's home."
Santa put the bowl of chips on the desk. He took the controller and zoomed in. One the screen, Miss Penny walked across the room and flipped on the light switch. Then, she exited the room. She re-entered the room. She flipped on the TV and a Spanish like music played in the background. Then, Miss Penny started the work out.
"Oh, I love this work out video!" Aya squealed as she stood up to do the work out as well.
Santa looked at her. "Are you crazy? She might be a murder!" Aya continued to the work out.
Miyu and Kanata had walked a lot around town. People kept staring and gasping over Miyu's flashy outfit. "I feel like a store mannequin." She randomly said.
They stopped. Kanata smirked and said, "Oh, you mean like a dummy on display?"
She glared at him and continued to walk, only to run into someone. "Oh, I'm s-sorry." She looked at the man's face. He looked mean and unshaven and dirty. He glared at her.
"Uh, excuse us, Sir." Kanata said as he grabbed Miyu by the arm and led her around the man as the man walked away.
"Hey, didn't that man's coat look like Mr. Warren's?" Miyu asked him.
"Always with the fashion."
"Didn't it?"
He looked back at the man. "I don't know. I didn't notice."
"I'm sure that was Mr. Warren's coat." Miyu thought as she looked back at the man. "I mean how many hideous green frocks are like that in one city?" Miyu joined Kanata in their walk.
"Uh, at the beginning at the school year, I came here to pick up Mr. Warren's old computer. He was giving it to me." He pointed over across the street, "That's it over there."
They looked across the street. It was a pretty nice house. It was white and two stories. Someone, dressed in black, came out of the house.
"Oh my goodness. Look!" Miyu gasped.
"It's Miss Spence." Kanata stated. "Let's hide." He told her and she rushed passed him and hide behind a pile of bagged trash. He kneeled down beside her. They poked their heads above the trash.
"I'm surprised that she doesn't have a nosebleed from being south of 14th Street." Miyu commented.
"That's funny," he looked at her, "you seem to not have a nosebleed."
"Ha-ha."
They watched Miss Spence walk down the sidewalk. "What's Miss Spence doing at Mr. Warren's place?" Kanata wondered out loud.
"Wait a minute." She said, remembering something. "I did see them having a weird conversion the day before he disappeared. Then he broke up with Miss Penny…"
"So?"
"So, that's sort of suspicious." She explained.
"Suspicious of what?" He asked, not getting the clue.
"I'm not sure. I'm just pointing out the facts."
"Let's, uh, check out Mr. Warren's." Kanata suggested.
"Okay." Miyu said and they both crossed the street.
